1.0 Introduction

Notes:

• Supported on the Schlage NDE and LE Locks.
• The Allegion locks must be connected to a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network, not a 5GHz Wi-Fi network.
• When using Wi-Fi connect you configure the lock to be updated twice a day. The update settings are configured using the Keri Aetheros Web Portal and must initially be sent to the lock using the Keri Mobile app. This initial configuration tells the lock when to connect to the Wi-Fi network in order to receive the update from the Keri Cloud Server.

The first thing you would need to do is configure the lock to connect over Wi-Fi.

Notes:

• You will need to be within Bluetooth range of the lock when capturing and for initial setup.
• Ensure the lock is in a factory reset state and not added to a different ENGAGE account.

• To de-activate a card you should remove the cardholders access group (instead of deleting the card).
• To re-activate the card, just assign a valid access group again.
• You can assign the cardholders access groups or individual access to the locks.
• Of course, the cardholder changes will not go out to the lock immediately. The changes will be updated on the lock(s) at the next scheduled download time.
• When a change is made in the database (for example, when a new cardholder is enrolled) the locks will have update indicators next to them.

The first time you configure the locks to use a Wi-Fi connection for updates, you will need to visit the lock(s) and send an update using the Confluence mobile app.
